Tough little kitten2

Meet Raymond. He was found by a co-worker who lives in the country but who has dogs inside. She asked me if I could take him and I couldn't resist. He's been to the vet's, who seems to think he was attacked. He's lost his left eye - the eye is in the socket but has no fluid. He can see OK with the other one. The eye wound corresponds with a head wound that looks like something's teeth punctured both.

He came to me all stuffed up with infection, just a puddle of bones and fur. But he is currently in my bathtub, playing with a ball. What a miracle a few doses of Amaxocillan can be!

We think he's about 4 weeks old. Once he's well enoug, he'll go onto the sunporch with the girls. (see tough little kittens)

BTW
The kitten was dropped at my my co-worker's farm. She's currently fostering two goats that were dumped there a few weeks ago! All her cats are outside and have been vetted and vaccinated. But with her dogs inside, she was just overwhelmed by this little guy. She couldn't bring him in and didn't want to leave him outside.

I didn't want anyone to think his condition was her fault. Just the opposite - she did the right thing and found him help.

Aww that sweet little baby is so lucky.... it just breaks my heart to see that sweet little face.... such a tiny baby to have already gone through so much in his short little 4 week life.

What an angel you and your friend are to take him in and give him the care he needs to get well.

I agree; that little guy is very lucky to have found you and your friend. I'm sending vibes that his recovery will continue to go well!

From all of us at TCS, we give you and your friend a huge heart felt thank you for looking after this handsome little boy!!!!

He's going to be extra special because of what's happened to him and l can't wait to see him as he gets better

Ohhh, my heart, my heart. He's a surviver - bless you!! , and for quick healing.

Thanks everyone.

I probably should have put a graphic and/or cuteness warning on the post but didn't think of it. A friend has suggested his markings look Siamese. She's going to call a nearby rescue and see what they think.

Right now, I am just grateful that I have the means to help him and the four girls.

OH Lord, I am so thankful to you for taking in Raymond . He brought a tear to my eye, the suffering he has endured. Thank God for people like you in this world . Please keep us updated on his condition. Tons of prayers I am sending out to Raymond. I just want to hold and snuggle the poor little soul.

I just want to scoop that little sweetheart right up!!!!!!!!!! What an angel face he has!!! OMG! I'm totally lost in love!! He deserves to be pampered and adored the rest of his life!! And if he's with you then that's just what he'll get!! Thank You!!!!!!!

You guys are the greatest for helping this little one. It brought tears to my eyes -- thank you!

Raymond is much better. He's sees the vet today - his eye socket is weeping and I just want to make sure he's OK.

He has cabin fever in the bathtub. Every time I take him out, he whirlwinds through the room. He simply doesn't know what to do first. He's still bumping into things - he hit his head on the door stopper pretty badly, so I have to keep him in the tub when I'm not home.

Depending on what the vet says, he may go on the porch with the girls today ...

Awww bless his heart. I hope the vet gives him the all clear to be let out with the others then he can get used to it.

Mega healthy healing for his poor eye

For a good bet visit

Hopefully he is able to be with the girls

He sounds like a spunky little sweetie
We are pulling for you Raymond

that the vet visit is good for this little angel!! . OH BOY!! I hope Raymond can go in with the girls! He just tugs at my heartstrings . I am still wishing for the best outcome for this little darling

He's so cute I'm glad he's got you to take care of him

What a little darling!
